HomeWe are down to 19 players which means we are hand for hand. Immediately, short stacked Wang Bin decided to go ahead and gamble it all in with K♦ 5♠ on a flop of 2♥ 10♣ 8♠. Michael Soyza called with Q♦ 8♣ top pair. Luckily for Wang, the turn 5♣ and river K♣ landed him two pair for a double up.
Vinod Megalmani had a crazy run yesterday trying to stay in contention and while he was successful, today was alot different. He moved all in on the first hand of the day at his table and got called by Dang Van Hien.
